Heart led, timeless imagery for

growing families

I’m Alicia

hey there

You know before you are a parent, when people tell you with sad smile β€˜time goes so fast when you have kids!’?

You nod and agree, without fully knowing how fast it actually goes. But then you have kids of your own and your days are full, fuller than you ever imagined, and you’re suddenly enrolling them into kindergarten and no I’m not crying, there’s dust in my eye. It’s wild, you spend so much of your time in the throes of chaos, almost wishing the days, months, years away and suddenly your baby isn’t your baby anymore and you want it to slow down.

Well, you can. Not literally (that would be an amazing superpower), but with images that capture your little people exactly as they are, at this very moment in time. That longed for bump you cradled so desperately for nine months, frozen in time. We can’t stop time, but we can freeze it for just a moment. And then have tangible evidence that it actually happened.

I’m a mum of four incredible kids, so I know what your days look like. They’re similar to mine, chasing after tiny people, picking up toys, being snack bitch 24/7.

It’s wonderous and exhausting, but I’m here for all of it. And I’m here for you too, to help you remember this time by capturing your beautiful season.

When I’m not mumming, or photographing (meaning, the extra 10 minutes I have every day), you’ll find me enjoying an iced coffee or 3 (hello lifeblood of parenthood), simple quiet weekends with trips to the coffee shop on scooters and getting away with my family when we can.

My sessions are relaxed and candid. If your kids are anything like mine, I know that getting them to stay still for 3 seconds is impossible, so I go with the flow, take their lead, and create beautiful memories that your family can treasure forever. I’m here for families who like to have a bit of fun, for the pregnant mama who wants to remember what it felt like to have their babe safe in their first home, and for the squishy newborn goodness, a stage so fleeting you forget it ever truly happened.

I’d love to get to know you and your family.

Fun facts about me

  • Iced coffee always! The go to drink for any busy mum who never finishes her hot coffee!

  • Oh this is a hard one! Totally depends on the season! Winter months I love the Dandenong’s and any forest I can find!

    Summer you’ll find me in fields with dry grass or at the beach watching the sunset

  • Give me all the lasagna! And then a block of chocolate for dessert!!

  • Addicted to crime shows.

    You’ll find me spending my nights rewatching Criminal Minds, Bones, Castle, Green Arrow and all the rest while editing!

β€œAlicia was so accommodating while capturing my maternity shoot. Nothing was ever too hard for her and she made the whole session feel so natural/easy. I felt comfortable the whole time and the photos are everything I could've dreamed of and more. Memories forever thanks to her”
